TITLE: The GCD-matrix: generalizing a result of Smith?
QUESTION [16 upvotes]: Let $M$ be the $n\times n$ matrix, known as the GCD matrix, of entries $M_{ij}=\gcd(i,j)$. In the paper
H J S Smith, On the value of a certain arithmetical determinant, Proc. London Math. Soc. 7:208-212 (1875-76)
it is shown that $\det M=\prod_{k=1}^n\varphi(k)$; where $\varphi(k)$ is the Euler totient function.
Lucas introduced the family of sequences defined recursively by $L_0(s,t)=0, L_1(s,t)=1$ and
$$L_n(s,t)=s\cdot L_{n-1}(s,t)+t\cdot L_{n-2}(s,t).$$
Remark. My interest in these numbers lies in the fact that they are gcd-compatibile:
$$\gcd(L_i,L_j)=L_{\gcd(i,j)}.$$

Question 1. Can Smith's result be extended to the determinantal evaluation
  $$\det\left[\gcd(L_i(s,t),L_j(s,t))\right]_{i,j=1}^n \,\,?$$

Update. On the basis of Max Alekseyev's calculations depicted below, I state the following claim.

Conjecture. Define a modified Euler's totient function $\varphi_L(k):=\sum_{d\vert n}L_d(s,t)\cdot\mu\left(\frac{k}d\right)$. Then
  $$\det\left[\gcd(L_i(s,t),L_j(s,t))\right]_{i,j=1}^n=\prod_{k=1}^n\varphi_L(k).$$

Remark. Observe that $L_n(2,-1)=n$, therefore Question 1 is already answered by Smith. In this case, $\varphi_L=\varphi$.

Question 2. We may start modest. If $s=2, t=1$ then $L_n(2,1)=P_n$ is the Pell sequence. What is the value of 
  $$\det\left[\gcd(P_i,P_j)\right]_{i,j=1}^n\,\,?$$

REPLY [9 votes]: Suppose $A_n$ is the set of natural numbers that divide $L_n(s,t)$ but don't divide any $L_m(s,t)$ for $m<n$. Then corollary 1 to theorem 1 in GCD closed sets and determinants of GCD matrices by Beslin and Leigh shows that 
$$\det\left[\gcd(L_i(s,t),L_j(s,t))\right]_{i,j=1}^n =\prod_{i=1}^n \left(\sum_{d\in A_i}\varphi(d)\right).$$
Showing that $\sum_{d\in A_n}\varphi(d)=\sum_{d\vert n}L_d(s,t)\cdot\mu\left(\frac{k}d\right)$ is a quick application of Mobius inversion and the identity $n=\sum_{d|n} \varphi(d)$.
